Anticipate a restful, invigorating interlude. Islanders consider
vacation on the cool mountain an inexpensive, pleasant variant from a
mainland trip.
Silversword Inn at an elevation of 6,800 feet is popular with luncheon
guests and with those staying overnight to view sunset or sunrise from
the summit of the great mountain. Attractive, friendly, comfortable, it
is the loftiest hostelry in the islands. There is no formal atmosphere:
warm, casual clothing is worn; it is strictly "come in as you are."
Hiking and riding in the vicinity of the inn are favorite pastimes.
Adjacent groves of trees of the Temperate Zone impart an aspect novel to
the islands. A visit is highlighted by trips into the crater and to the
summit, less than thirty minutes distant by car. The cup runneth over
for photographers and nature enthusiasts. You can enjoy cool, restful
nights between daytime drives to the many points of interest on Maui.
